SUMMERSIDE, July 18.—No1'tham Races were a great success yester- day, over two thousand people wit- nessing the meet. The track was in perfect shape and the racing some of the best. cvci- seen at Northam.

The big crowd was on tipcoe a1- mosi; every heat. Numerous excep- tions were taken to the judges‘ dc- cisions, the angle of the wire making the difference of opinion between the judges on the one side of the track and spectators on the other.

When Betty S won the third heat of the 214 Class in 2.09% the star- ter announced that it was a new track record, beating the former track record of 2.10. This was in- correct. On Wednesday afternoon, July 19, 1933, Darky Grattan won the Free for all Pace in straight heats,

2.28 Trot and Pace

‘This was the filial race called and was on by Roy Volo Jr., after los- ing l. e first heat to Peggy Longset who hung up a mark of 2.17. Silver Doctor, who was rather unsteady yesterday. was third, with Miss Worthy Douglas, Halifax entry, get- ting fourth money. _

The classes were well filled, six horses going to the wire in every race.

2.14 Pace

Betty S. made the speed in this

being closely pushed in each heat by Patrick Direct, this being especially true in the final heat when she just beat him by a nose to the wire.

Lucky Lindy was unfortunate in having his sulky broken in the first heat but was placed by the judges and went a good race capturing third money, Trixie Volo who also went a good race placed fourth.

This was probably one of the best: races of the day taking four heats to decide. Frank J.

Helen D. won the rnccoff but was set back by the judges for swerving in the stretch.

This race drew the most interest on the spectators’ part, each cheer- ing their own favorite. It was won in straight heats by Signal Senator owned by D. H. Smith of Middleton. N.

53 - year - old Summer Resident of Chester, NL S. Is New Nova Sootia Champion.

(By Arthur Merkel Canadian Press Staff Writer]

DIG-BY, N. S., July 18—J. W. Matthews, a strong, rugged, and deeply suntanned summer YGmClCIlb of Chester, N. S., who is 53 years of age, and has had many years of golfing cxperiiincc, heat out expon- ents of the flllPldnf, game of every age from 15 to 60 in two day; cf thrilling play on the long and hazardous Pines course. to be crowned tht new amateur champ- ion of Nova Scotla.

A native oi -1l'.!ll|0l‘C. Maryland, who holds inc omor golfing title there and was inst, yzar the rumtcr up for the Nova Scotia champion- ship, he played a steady thought- ful game throughout the entire 72 holes of medal play, seldom missed a putt, of less than six feet. drove 250 yards consistently and was deadly accurate with his irons. That was what brought him the title. Other golfers had more sen- sational rounds, but not the stead- iness of the winner

L. Miller of Chester, runner-up for the title this year, had a one- stroke advantage on the tiilist for the last 18 holes, scoring s. brill- iant 78, but an 88 yesterday set him three strokes behind the new champion for the total play. Miller, playing sensatlonally and followed closely by spectators from many parts of the Province, was at one time two strokes from tying Mat- thews for the title. On that last round he had four birdies. and equalled par seven times Hi5 put- ting, accurate at times, failed. him at others and gave him high scores on one or two holes. Matthews was steady as a rock, took par on twelve holes, was one above on five others, and two above only once.

The defending champion, "Gint" Cain of Yarmoilth, ivas there too, right in the thick of it, with Mat- thews and the brilliant Miller in the thrilling championship round which had the three leading play- ers at the 27th iiolc matching shots together. but the old champ- ion had consistent hard luck.

His drives were shorter and less accurate than his long putts to halve holes with the others rimmed the cups. and when it. was over he had an 82, five strokes more than Miller. Hc took it all with a smile, though, and gave Matthews a slap on the back at the end of the 72nd. Cain did not even get third place. That was robbed from him by “Nip" Ross of New Glasgow, who carded 162 today and stole intc third place. one stroke ahead of the blond defending champion.
